Member since January 2024 Palm Bay, United States
Background
For around 40 years, I have been in the fishing industry. I was a successful tournament Bass angler regionally in the Midwest and then moved to fish the national FLW Tour in 2015-16 with a major fishing sponsorship. Other than being a fishing guide and tournament Bass fisherman, I have taught fishing courses on the non-credit level at community colleges and represented over a dozen companies promoting their products through my fishing experiences. I fished from Montana to New York to Florida and Texas and even Mexico and the Dominican Republic and Brazil now under my belt!!! My permanent residence is overlooking the shores of Table Rock Lake near Branson Missouri and I love that area of the country but when it gets too cold, the bass fish I head south where I am a Fishing Guide in central Florida concentrating on Headwaters lake near Fellsmere Florida!!! With my travels and experiences around the country, I have a pretty good time being a fishing guide and relate well to both young and old with the stories of my travels and fishing endeavors!!! If you’ve read this far, let me be your Fishing Guide for the day and possibly a fishing buddy for life!!! Thanks Mike Boyles
Techniques
Depending on weather conditions, my boat is outfitted with a full lineup of Lews spinning rods and reels, which can be right or left hand fitted, if you prefer we can fish artificial baits like soft plastics or top waters but if you’re after that big fish of a lifetime, I recommend us purchasing wild golden Shiners before the trip and using those as our bait of choice!!!
